What Does NADP Stand For?
NADP stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
NADP, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate, is a coenzyme involved in various biochemical reactions within cells. It plays a crucial role in anabolic processes, including the synthesis of nucleic acids and lipids, by serving as a reducing agent. NADP exists in oxidized (NADP ) and reduced (NADPH) forms, with NADPH being essential for biosynthetic reactions and protection against oxidative stress. Its function is vital in photosynthesis, cellular metabolism, and maintaining cellular redox balance.
